Mabasa 3

¹Zvino Petro naJohane vakakwira kutembere nenguva yokunyengetera yakanga iri nguva yepfumbamwe.Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

²Zvino mumwe murume, waikamhina kubva padumbu ramai vake, wakanga achitakurwa; vaimuisa zuva rimwe nerimwe pamukova wetembere, wainzi Wakanaka, kuti akumbire zvipo kunavaipinda mutembere.And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

³Iye wakati achivona Petro naJohane voda kupinda mutembere, akakumbira kuti apiwe chipo.Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

⁴Zvino Petro akamutarisisa, naJohane vo, akati: Titarire.And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

⁵Akavatarira, achiti ndichapiwa chinhu navo.And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

⁶Asi Petro akati: Sirivheri nendarama handina; asi chandinacho ndinokupa: Nezita raJesu weNazareta, simuka ufambe.Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

⁷Akamubata ruvoko rworudyi, akamusimudza; pakarepo tsoka dzake nezviziso zvetsoka dzake zvakasimba.And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

⁸Akavhazuka, akamira, ndokufamba; ndokupinda navo mutembere, akafamba achipembera, achirumbidza Mwari.And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

⁹Vanhu vose vakamuvona achifamba, achirumbidza Mwari.And all the people saw him walking and praising God:

¹⁰Vakamuziva, kuti ndiye waigarira zvipo pamukova Wakanaka wetembere; vakakatyamara zvikuru nokushamiswa nezvaakaitirwa.And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

¹¹Zvino murume waikamhina, wakanga aporeswa achakabatira pana Petro naJohane, vanhu vose vakamhanyira kwavari pabiravira, rainzi raSoromoni, vakashamiswa kwazvo.And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.

¹²Zvino Petro wakati achivona izvozvo, akapindura vanhu, akati: Varume vaIsraeri, mashamiswa neiko pamusoro poyuyu? Munotitarisisa neiko, setinenge tamufambisa nesimba redu kana nokunamata kwedu Mwari?And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?

¹³Mwari waAbhurahamu, nowaIsaka, nowaJakobho, Mwari wamadzibaba edu, ndiye wakakudza Muranda wake Jesu, wamakaisa kuvatongi mukamuramba pamberi paPirato, iye atonga kuti asunungurwe.The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

¹⁴Asi imi makaramba uyo Mutsvene, wakarurama, mukakumbira kuti mupiwe muvurayi:But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;

¹⁵mukavuraya Muvambi wovupenyu; iye, wakamutswa naMwari kuvakafa; iye, watiri zvapupu zvake isu.And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.

¹⁶Nokutenda kuzita rake, zita rake rakasimbisa munhu uyu wamunovona, nowamunoziva; vuye, kutenda kunobva kwaari, ndiko kwakamuporesa zvakanaka kudai pamberi penyu mose.And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

¹⁷Asi zvino, hama dzangu ndinoziva kuti makazviita nokusaziva, savabati venyu vo;And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

¹⁸asi saizvozvo Mwari wakazadzisa zvaakamboreva nomuromo wavaporofita vose, kuti Kristu wake uchazotambudzika.But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

¹⁹Naizvozvo tendevukai, mudzoke, kuti zvivi zvenyu zvidzimwe, kuti nguva dzokuvandudzwa dzinobva kunaShe, dzisvike;Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

²⁰Uchatuma Kristu, wakaparidzwa kwamuri kare.And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

²¹iye unofanira kugamuchirwa kudenga kusvikira nguva yokugadzirwa kwezvinhu zvose, yakarebwa naMwari nomuromo wavaporofita vake vatsvene kubva pakutanga. Kwenyika.Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

²²Nokuti Mosesi wakati: Ishe, Mwari wenyu, uchamumutsira Muporofita pakati pehama dzenyu, wakafanana neni; muchamuterera pazvose, zvaanotaura kwamuri.For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

²³Zvino mumwe nomumwe kana asingatereri Muporofita uyo, uchaparadzwa kwazvo pakati pavanhu.And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

²⁴Navaporofita vose kubva kunaSamueri, navakamutevera, naivo vose vakataura vakaporofita zvinhu izvozvi zvose.Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.

²⁵Imi muri vanakomana vavaporofita, navesungano, yakaitwa naMwari namadzibaba enyu, achiti kunaAbhurahamu: Marudzi ose enyika acharopafadzwa muvana vako.Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

²⁶Mwari wakatanga kukumutsirai imi Mwanakomana wake Jesu, akamutuma kukuropafadzai, achidzora mumwe nomumwe wenyu pazvakaipa zvake.Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
